Most of you may not know this since it is NOT advertised yet on the website or even in the stores unless you ASK!!! But, if you're paying Verizon for internet on their unlimited acess $45 a month service, you can now change it to their new UNADVERTISED $30 a month service. I did not know this. Here's the why it's on the DL. Not all phones support EVDO Rev. A. So, not all phones can use the service. In fact, most can not. So, if they advertise that this can happen, many people get upset that they can't get unlimited internet at $30 a month. See what I mean? But, the 6800 can support Rev. A and it's even coming with this new update! So call Verizon, tell them you want the $30 a month unlimited since you have the 6800 and tell everyone you know who has it! They can only sign you up over the phone or in a store. Don't expect to find it on their website yet. It's not listed there and can't be subscribed to online, just phone or store. Spread the news!
Edit:
Just something else to chew on, Verizon is merging with Alltell. It's actually happening and the details are being ironed out, but all Alltell customers can expect their network to double in size before the year is done. Keep your eyes on the news too. Verizon is also looking at an MCI merger and a possible Qwest merger. Neither will increase their network by much, but if Qwest is adopted, say hello to mega bandwidth through a nicely laid fiber optic backbone. Nothing official as of yet on those two, but definite possibilities, like getting all the nice gadgets the Qwest and Alltell phones have and vice versa... |
Yes, I took advantage of the new data package a couple of months ago or so. I added a line on my Family Share Plan, changed the data plan, and am paying 5 dollars less per month than I was before.
Your edit paragraph is what has gotten me truly excited, tho. I live in a Qwest-serviced area, and have been anxiously awaiting some form of fiber to the home for gosh knows how long. But, after contacting Qwest, I've found that they have no plans to roll out fiber in my area for the forseeable future. I know that Verizon has been aggressive in deploying fiber in the states that they serve, but haven't heard anything about their FIOS service coming to Arizona -- It appears that much of the delay for FIOS deployment is due to the presence of Qwest. So, if Verizon were to merge with Qwest in some fashion, then things might change. So, I might just be looking at having a rollout of fiber in my neighborhood in a sooner timeframe than before. Gives me something to hope for at least. [-o<
